Frontier Land, Morecambe, 1992

[Hellwyck]

Great video footage but not all of us want to listen to ultra crap euro-dance.

[MrRossdg]

[1nterwebs]

[stu6899]

[steviespain]

[Charlrobbo]

[RNPsych]

I lived there until 1980. I loved the amusements.

[rapeyadog]

[GraphicsTheatre]

my hometown! back then it was good now it full off vandalising smackheads :(

[rightfredsdead]

the early 1990s were the best in the uk. its been downhill since. cctv, rights taken away and crazy property costs. madness. how innocent we were back then..

[spacecowboy22]

Brilliant footage of a place that holds some happy childhood memories for me, when my mum and dad split when I was very young my dad took me here. Makes me bit emotional :) hehe

[jacktheripp76]

now thats a fuckin tune......

morecambe is fucked tho.

[Lukedfrt2]

When you look at this place compared to the pleasure beach, it cant compare, same with the Pleasureland Southport.

There decent, but no where near the standards

[kdmfc]

what a tune

[darren8wilkinson8]

What a load of cods bollocks this place was! It was an accident waiting to happen! I remember going on the Texas tornado and on 2 occasions they forgot to strap me in.

[maestro66uk]

@darren8wilkinson8 erm...NOBODY was STRAPPED in on the Texas Tornado!!

[collegefreaks2000]

@maestro66uk

If I remember right, it was a bar that was pushed over your lap?

The Mine train was the one that felt like you were going to die lol.

That other roller coaster at the top in the car park (think it was red and yellow in colour), we got stuck near the top of it, the guy had to climb the structure to push us off again lol.

Im sure it was all rumors but I swear I heard someone stood up on the Texas Tornado and got decapitated?! Im sure it was just school banter though.

[acekingoffsuit]

@collegefreaks2000 yep ur right it was just a bar across ur lap!!!!

[grabar20]

[bigvis65]

I love it!! whats the song?

[marklee125]

I used to love going here as a kid in the 80s,such a shame it had to close. Brings back so many happy memories for me and to see it empty now makes me really sad.Loved going on the rollercoaster and who remembers Uncle Creepys Haunted House?

[kowalski37]

Noahs Arc!

[craigybus1]

I have very fond memories of Frontierland. Spent 3 weeks in Morcambe in summer 83, and went there daily. Loved the log flume. I was only 6 at the time. Drove through Morecambe a few months back & thought what a real dive. Caused by the greed of a mad cow with an overpriced attraction a few miles away!

[1996Coaster]

@craigybus1 I take it you don't like Blackpool.

[parkeyx]

had many a good time in there as a kid.

sod all to do in morecambe now

[budf1]

Yeah, Apart from theat crappy one along the front, or cinema or bowling (which is always busy) there is squat all

[scottcole2706]

you could also try cockle picking

[iBUNGATz]

Scottcole2706 are you a retard?

19/20 Morecambe people have never been cockle picking

so stop trying to be funny by using stereotypes

[scottcole2706]

yeeeeeeees, it took 4 months but i got a rise out of someone! thumbs up for you!

[iBUNGATz]

xD xD

[yyvonneP]

@scottcole2706 i liked your comment too!

[scottcole2706]

thank you

[towerorgan]

some good memories of childhood there

[derikschoy]

Aww i'm to young to remember this. =(

All i do Remember is the big ride that was still there after it was closed but now that has been nocked down to.=(

But the polo tower is still there it just isn't used for anything.=)

[claret1882uk]

good memories

[MattSimAv]

Whats the song and ooooo the memories. I love this place. It was a definition in the north west history. The Lancaster council could of reopened it with an offer they recived but chose morrisons becuase they offered more. Think of the tourism morcambe would still have. Greed fuels downturn.

[Pumpcatcher]

Wet summer days spent in 'Fun City'. Remember that anyone?

[jdccarroll1]

amen, pumpcatcher ;)

[shutty2k3]

wow memories indeed! I used to go to this park as a child in the 90's. I went to Morecambe about a year and a half ago not knowing the park had closed down! All I saw was the remains of a rotting log flume and the Polo Tower. I used to like the "skirt" and the mine cart ride shown in this video oh and the wooden rollercoaster!

Morecambe seems so dead now...

[WillowTheWaffler]

That brought back some lovely memories.

[mirazul92]

wahaaa...

such good memories..

it's been 11 years since my last visit to frontierland..

can't believe how much it has changed

[60103Henry]

Great video, 5 stars. Any idea as to what happend to the Miniature Railway that was there, or is it still there but dissused?

[stig114]

memories indeed! I loved the Wild Mouse

[vk61]

Another wonderful slice of Amusement Park History. Essential viewing. YouTube does not get much better than this.
